The green basilisk lizard is also called a plumed or double-crested basilisk; but its amazing ability to run on water gives this species its most recognizable moniker: the Jesus Christ lizard. Walking on Water Abundant in the tropical rain forests of Central America, from southern Mexico to Pan...
Known colloquially as the “Jesus Christ Lizard,” this reptile is most well-known for its ability to walk on water. When chasing prey, it can stand upright on its hind legs and run across the tops of still bodies of water for up to 20 meters before sinking and being forced to swim ...
The mouth of thebasilisk lizardis large with saw like teeth appearing on the inner sides of the jaw. They run at a speed of 7mph (11km/h). Besides its familiarity with running over water, the basilisks are excellent swimmers and climbers, they have also the ability to remain under wate...
